Our trigger is the best aftermarket 10/22® trigger on the market. Whether you shoot Smallbore Silhouette, the Sportsmans Team Challenge or just hate Crows and Groundhogs this is the trigger you have been looking for. What makes it the best you ask? Tony Kidd's patented two stage design. It offers the incredibly clean and consistent let off expected in a target trigger while maintaining the total reliability and safety required of a field trigger. The pull weight can be infinitely distributed between the two stages offering a pull as light as 6 ounces (3 ounces on the first stage and 3 ounces on the second stage) or as heavy as 2.5 pounds. We will gladly distribute the trigger weight to your individual needs.

Our trigger guard is CNC machined from 6061 T6 billet aluminum and each assembly. The hammer, sear, transfer bar and other internal tool steel parts are CNC machined and cut by a wire EDM. All springs are manufactured by a .22 aficionado and KIDD customer Murphy & Read Springs. We assemble each trigger in the KIDD shop employing the strictest quality control knowing our reputation rides on every trigger.

Talk about INNOVATIVE! Have you noticed the interchangeable magazine release levers for our trigger assemblies? You can now purchase one of three styles or all three. The Sportsman or the flat lever is the best lever for all you hunters. The Extended (medium) is a great universal magazine lever and our most popular. Then the Speed (long) lever that wraps around the bottom of the trigger guard is for all you target shooters who are racing the clock.

We offer black and silver anodized trigger bodies/guards both supplied with our signature red trigger (or as a customer from San Antonio, Texas referred to it "the salsa trigger"). Both black and silver trigger bodies have a matte glare free finish. We have offered a straight trigger shoe option in our trigger housing for years, but the concept is still new to most customers. The straight trigger replaced the standard curved trigger nicely and feels particularly good with a pistol grip or thumbhole style stock. We recommend that if you use a sporter style stock that you stick with the standard curved trigger. Our curved and straight trigger shoes are available in both red and black powder coating. The two-stage trigger also comes with an auto bolt release already installed.

What the heck is a two stage trigger? The two stage trigger offers a unique geometry which allows a very clean, light and repeatable break. This is accomplished by distributing the trigger pull weight into two distinct segments. The first segment or stage is an initial take up which leads to the second stage. As you pull the trigger rearward taking up the first stage weight, you will feel a stop. This is the second stage. At this point the hammer and sear are engaged by .001" and any further rearward movement of the trigger will release the hammer firing the shot. The advantage to this system, which is used on all European competition autoloaders, is the ability to not only have very consistent trigger breaks but to also allow light and reliable trigger breaks. In an autoloading rifle this can only be accomplished with a two stage trigger. When cocked, the two stage has approximately .040" hammer and sear engagement, almost 10 times that of the factory trigger. Only KIDD offers a 10/22® trigger assembly which incorporates precise let off, complete reliability and total safety.

We offer two hammer spring options, standard and magnum. The magnum spring can be purchased for an extra $4.00 during check out and should be used with the .22 magnum and 17HMR.

Exceptions to the drop-in rule:

Our two stage trigger drops into nearly all 10/22® models with minimal exception. If this trigger is going in a SR-22® please let us know so that we may remove a small amount of material from the rear tang. With our recently updated look, we have slimmed down the rear of the trigger guard so that it now fits without modification into the pistol grip style stocks that engulf the rear of the trigger guard giving the rifle that handgun appearance around the trigger area.

Like I really need to say anything....I just received my 2 Stage Trigger toady, it a work of art. The quality of the machining, the finish, the fit, everything about this trigger is more than I could have asked for. I have it paired with the Kidd Upper Receiver, Bolt, Cocking Rod and Handle, and the bolt buffer. I will never buy 10/22 parts from any other company. You have a customer for life my friend. Accuracy with this set up through the roof. I can do quarter sized groups at 100 yards with the cheapo Remington Thunderbolt ammo. Trigger is smooth as glass, I have not had ONE FTF, FTE, stovepipe, nothing since converting from a stock 10/22. It even cycled the Aguila Sniper Sub-Sonic rounds flawlessly, which my stock 10/22 hated. I love you guys.

I've been using two of these 2 stage trigger assemblies for the last 16 months, and I can't begin to explain how amazing they've been. I cant justify them for all of my builds, but when I want the very best, these are what I get.

Kidd upgrades, peerless

I've had a 10/22 since the early 1980s. Over the years, I've put a bull barrel and a stock on it, and mounted a scope, but I've always wanted to take it to the next level. Now that I'm older, the parts, while expensive, are within my reach.
I ordered a two stage trigger, a bolt, and a scope rail. All arrived within a week despite the $5 shipping.
Everything is very well made, and drops it in.
The result, first impressions are that I've taken my rifle to the next level.

trigger feels great!

Just received my order: two stage trigger, bolt buffer, and cocking assembly. The installation videos are great and make for a quick and painless install. The two stage trigger feels so much better than the stock ruger trigger. I am excited to give it a go at the range. The components look great on my costumized 10/22!

Glad I saved for this!

This trigger is amazing, it shrunk my groups by a little less than half at 100 yards with an otherwise stock 10/22 Target. The blazing fast order processing and shipment was the cherry on top.

Q:For my Ruger 10-22 Im not sure what the benefits are between the single stage trigger and the two stage trigger. when would each one be a benefit?

Asked by: JBW
- 6/2/2016

A: Hi John, I believe either trigger would be beneficial. Both our single stage and two stage are complete drop-in units and require no assembling or disassembling of the trigger for tuning. They are both adjustable for pull weight that is initially set by KIDD but can be adjusted later. By definition a single stage trigger design is supposed to break without travel when pressure is applied to it. The KIDD single stage has a fantastic break, it is clean, crisp, and repeatable. Our single stage pull weight is adjustable from 1.5 lbs to 5 lbs with the turn of a set screw. Our two stage is adjustable from 6 oz to 2.5 lbs with the turn of a set screw along with a few other adjustments that are not normally tuned. In a two stage trigger there is travel or take up giving the customer the ability to have such a light trigger in an autoloader. In the KIDD two stage there is a very smooth 1/4 inch take up that the shooter can take up and then release if conditions are not right to take the shot. After taking up the 1st stage the shooter will feel a slight increase of pressure this is the 2nd stage, or breaking stage. Essentially, at the end of the 1st stage your trigger is now a single stage so only pressure and not travel is required to break the shot. So to give a comparative example of the difference, if both trigger pull weights were set at 2 lbs, the full 2 lbs would break on the single stage after the 2 pounds of pressure was applied to the blade. In a two stage this weight is distributed over the 1st and 2nd stages. One pound would be broken at the shot after 1lb was taken up on the 1st stage. This creates an advantage for the shooter as the shot is broken with half the weight on the break resulting in less disruption of the sights. Good shooting! KIDD

Q:once the last round is fired does the bolt stay open and can you just pull it back and release it or will I have to still use the bolt release that the Rugger 10/22 has?

Asked by: Jlav
- 7/5/2016

A: Hi Jlav, Thank you for your interest in our two stage. We don't have the automatic bolt hold open though the trigger comes standard with the auto bolt release. Which means that the bolt will go forward when you pull back on the bolt handle without the extra step of fiddling with the bolt hold open. Good shooting! KIDD

Q:Can these two stage triggers be dry fired without damage and/or snap caps?

Asked by: Don Mousseau
- 7/30/2016

A: For trigger control practice we dry fire our rifles. The only detriment to the two stage trigger related to dry firing, is when the unit is dry fired out of the rifle and the power of the hammer is not absorbed by the bolt. Good shooting! KIDD

Q:I am trying to replicate the two stage biathlon trigger on an Anschutz Biathlon Rifle. The minimum weight for the 2nd stage is 500g, or about 20 oz.
Can you adjust your two stage trigger for absolute minimum weight first stage and ~20oz 2nd stage?
